Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\mathrm{MnO}_2\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In a neutral or weakly alkaline medium, potassium permanganate (\(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\)) acts as an oxidizing agent and is reduced to manganese dioxide (\(\mathrm{MnO}_2\)). The chemical reaction between \(\mathrm{KMnO}_4\) and \(\mathrm{MnSO}_4\) in a neutral medium is given by:…
